Home is where people feel most themselves, and Home Instead Basildon is dedicated to keeping it that way. Since 2012, the local team has supported older people across Basildon, Benfleet, Wickford, Langdon Hills, Canvey Island and surrounding areas to live safely, independently and well in their own homes.
Care is relationship-led and tailored to each individual. Every visit lasts at least one hour, so support is always unhurried and delivered in the way each client prefers. Clients are matched with familiar Care Professionals who share similar interests and have the right skills, helping trust and genuine connection grow over time.
Services include personal care, companionship care, home help, respite care, overnight care, live-in care and day care. The team is especially experienced in caring for people living with Dementia or Parkinson's, with Care Professionals receiving specialist training in these areas. The Care Quality Commission has rated the service Good.
The process starts with a free, no-obligation consultation at home, where the team takes time to listen, get to know the individual and their family, and shape care that fits.

My husband has been poorly since the beginning of 2021, so his ongoing care has been more of a challenge to me. Without the kindness and support of his carer our lives would have been greatly impaired. I cannot speak highly enough for the caring support that has been provided by his regular carer. She has allowed me a little respite through this difficult time. I am extremely grateful for her daily visits which gives me comfort that my husband is continuing to receive great care. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words it is wonderful to hear we make a difference. I will pass your comments on to the CAREGiver in question and all other staff.

I have found my experience of the agency very good indeed over the past 11 months. The three days per week which I need her help for she keeps my house clean and tidy, she helps me have a shower and gets me dressed, we go shopping once in the week. She will help out when I get into difficulties on the computer. We have discussions and laughs about things. I especially like the fact that if my regular caregiver is away the agency will send someone else. Also, I am very pleased that my caregiver just kept working through the Covid crisis.
Thank you for taking time to complete the review your lovely comments are appreciated and will be passed on to the CAREGiver in question.

We have had an excellent experience with Home Instead caring for my mum. The service they provide is first class. Mum has a principal carer who looks after her so well and has become an important part of her life. The other carers, who look after her on the staff members days off, are all very good too. Mum trusts them to provide the personal care she needs. And they are exceptional in being prepared to cook her meals from scratch. They always arrive on time and are a key part of her daily routine.
Thank you it is so rewarding to hear how happy you are with the care mum is receiving. I will pass your lovely comments on to mum's CAREGivers.

Any potential new carer is always introduced to her alongside her known carer before they come. The ladies treat mum with total respect and brighten up her day. They do basic personal care and light housework.
I am very happy to leave mum knowing they are coming in. The office staff are very helpful if any changes need to be made and are supportive of family.
The new app is working very well and I can access it when I am away from home to check mum is ok. I would and have recommended them to anyone needing a carer to allow their family member to carry on living independently.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will pass these on to mum's CAREGivers.
My mother is a very proud lady and at 90 has accepted she needs help with her shower routine twice a week. Her carer has been extremely sensitive to her privacy and is very helpful and kind. The company itself has been very helpful and flexible when we have had to cancel four hospital...

The service provided is excellent, of a high professional and caring standard. The carer is extremely helpful, thoughtfully and caring, she goes beyond expectations. Provides me with confidence that my parents are receiving care from a carer who has their best interests at heart. She has built up a very good relationship with my mother, who is the client and had Alzheimer's, and my father, who really likes and appreciates her.

We have been using Homes Instead for a number of years for our Mum. All the carers are extremely good and take care of Mum. She is very happy with the girls and the fact that they are consistent, shows us that the care for Mum is very good. The girls are very reliable, and every time there is a...

The carer was thorough, efficient and understanding of my mother's needs. As in the previous year, this year was the same and she covered all aspects of my mother's care plan and requirements.

She has Alzheimer's and is profoundly deaf. It is a testament to the care provided that she is still living in her own property safe and happy.

The Home Instead carers have been looking after my parents for the last few years. I don't know what we would have done without them. My parents have always been independent, but the carers have been brilliant. They are patient and kind and will help with anything they can. They will contact us if they have any concerns. They have shown great kindness towards both my parents and genuinely care for them. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead, they go beyond the call of duty.
Thank you for your kind review and we are delighted you are happy with the support provided by our team.

Hello, I’m Kanay, one of the owners of Home Instead Basildon.
I’m a GP, and caring for older people has always been the part of my work I find most rewarding. Over more than 10 years as a doctor, visiting patients in their own homes has been an important part of what I do, and it has shown me how much happier and healthier people are when they can stay in the place they love, surrounded by the things and people that matter to them.
That is why Home Instead means so much to me. Everything starts with the person: who they are, what they enjoy and how they like things done. Visits last at least an hour, so care is always unhurried, and clients see the same familiar faces, so real relationships can grow. Kindness, dignity and respect sit at the heart of everything the team does.
Our aim is simple: to give every client the kind of care we would want for our own families, and to make sure every Care Professional feels valued and supported so they can do the job they love.
If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone close to you, please get in touch. Our friendly team would love to hear from you and will be happy to talk things through.

My name is Jenny, and I am the Registered Care Manager at Home Instead Basildon.
I have worked in the care sector for many years and have been part of the Home Instead family since 2015. I began my journey as a Care Professional before progressing to the role of Trainer and Field Supervisor. In 2023, I became the Registered Care Manager following my registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). I have also completed my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care.
My passion for care began when I looked after my grandfather. That experience showed me just how important compassionate, person-centred care is in helping people remain independent and continue living in the comfort of their own homes.
I am passionate about supporting both our clients and our Care Professionals, ensuring that every person receives the highest standard of care tailored to their individual needs. I truly believe in Home Instead's mission to *change the face of ageing* by delivering personalised, relationship-led care that enables people to live safely, independently, and with dignity in the place they know and love most—their own home.
